Re: Re: Dr. Hinton Hamilton- TEXANS

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the link, . That is very helpful information. The only

deviation from the protocol that my doc uses is that he does fiberglass casts

rather than plaster. They are very firm, though and do not bend. He does

manipulate them while they are bendable and not set up and hold them until they

are set up. Her feet look good and are responding well to the casts so I THINK

things are going well. (It is hard to say without being an " expert " in this,

but they look good to me and he can answer all my " Ponseti method " questions

appropriately.)

If there are any families in the Fort Worth, Texas area who would like to get

together for support maybe once a month or so, please email me directly at

csheltonhome@.... I am desperate for

some face-to-face support, although this group has been a Godsend!

Re: Dr. Hinton Hamilton- TEXANS

Actually, I think there are quite a few families from Texas on the

board, they just don't post too regularly. I think Dr. Lund has a

few families on here. And I think 's mom is from Texas too.

Carol, there's a " parents' checklist " at this site that might be

useful to you:

helping to determine if there are any areas where your doctor might

not be following protocol. If you have any questions, please just

ask!

Again, I'm not 100% sure she is in Dallas.

Plaster casting tape is a lot cheaper in price to buy than the fiberglass tape

but, you can get the same results with either one.
